Is there any way to lighten the color to try blend it in better? Having different color panels on cars kinda bugs me.

Is it actually the same paint code / colour as the rest of the car?
If it is, then a light machine polish will bring it closer, but if its not, there isnt much that you can do!

Thanks for the reply, by the looks of it, the whole door was replaced so I presume it was the same paint code, but come to think of it there were probably a number of types of silver paint.

I might try a polish and see if it makes any difference.
